Harrison hurricane pulse and tsunami duty protective seawalls (HHTPS) which are constructed of permanent, heavily steel rebar reinforced concrete, with the seawall foundations driven down to ground rock refusal every 30 feet, or less or more, of seawall horizontal length

Abstract

Harrison hurricane pulse and tsunami duty protective seawalls (HHTPS) are constructed of permanent, heavily steel rebar reinforced concrete, with multiple seawall foundations driven down to ground rock refusal every 30 feet and are normally 140 feet high. These seawalls shall protect many areas that are subject to flooding and / or massive storm pulses such as hurricane Katrina. These seawalls shall protect areas at risk of tsunami waves. Tsunamis are caused by undersea earthquakes, undersea volcanoes, etc. that produce a huge destructive sea wave called a tsunami. These seawalls have the strength on top to allow construction of roads for vehicular traffic. These seawalls protect such locations as New Orleans, La. and adjacent Gulf Coast areas, the Mississippi Gulf Coast, the Texas Gulf Coast and others. These seawalls shall protect such places as Indonesia, and other places that are subject to a tsunami. These seawalls allow sandy or other beaches for humans and sea animals (such as sea turtles). These seawalls function off shore over water to protect small islands from a huge storm pulse or tsunami.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] Most engineers have realized for many decades that the city of New Orleans, La., which has evolved into areas that are actually located below sea level, and “protected” by earthen levees, was simply a massive disaster by design. The question was not WOULD the disaster actually happen, but WHEN would it happen. As this is written, repairs to the earthen levees of New Orleans are being made that constitute the “band aid” approach that has been repeatedly proven to be inadequate. The Harrison hurricane pulse and tsunami duty protective seawalls (HHTPS) are permanent, heavily steel rebar reinforced concrete seawalls that have their foundations driven down to ground rock every 30 feet or less or more of horizontal length. Harrison hurricane pulse and tsunami duty protective seawalls (HHTPS) are a product intended to protect many areas, such as New Orleans, La. that are subject to flooding and massive storm pulses such as...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

There is no known prior art for Harrison hurricane pulse and tsunami duty protective seawalls (HHTPS).

A reason for this is the huge cost anticipated for such structures.

Also, there just recently occurred the huge damage inflicted on Indonesia and adjacent areas by the tsunami impact there.
